Ukraine Signals Gas Price Rise To Unlock IMF Aid

KIEV—Ukraine signaled it could raise gas prices for some households, a long-delayed move that could help it unlock critical financial help from the International Monetary Fund.

Prime Minister Mykola Azarov said Friday that the government could raise prices for wealthier citizens, but wouldn't cave to all IMF demands as it wasn't "desperate" for loans and was seeking funding on international markets.
